his audience inside the halls but he continued the conversation in public where you're smiling do you believe or started that the government had a head about eleven and what seemed like interviews with almost every network and he had a captive audience on the street or did they have. activists to protest against his visit almost daily by the. pomp and circumstance aside ahmadinejad said he may return to the negotiating table if the security council plays nice. iran has always be ready for a guy like based on respect and justice and the international community warned of where an escalation in the conflict could lead and these forces used against iran i believe this would be the shortest way to the radicals in their own. truly and decided that no that we will struck we must have nuclear weapons and talk of m d

g's or millennium development goals of fighting hunger and poverty amidst a global recession countries were more measured in making pledges for too long we've measured our efforts by the dollars we spoke of the food that we delivered to the conference concluded with deep concern that the un is falling far short of conquering problems such as world poverty and malnutrition it appeared no country yesterday we did see more arrests they're. still short of conquering their hunger with the finest cuisine new york has to offer but this time of the year you have the fresh french fry truffle so we do all make up out of there were black truffle sauce and i will show you the truffle staple side and after a week of traffic truffles and talk the press is already packing up despite debates continuing next week as global problems persist the u.n.g.a. remains a convenient place for leaders to share their opinions and ideas if people hope that they care even if nothing changes after this week as to whether any of the

rhetoric becomes reality or that we're just going to have to wait and see next year or in leicester artie's new york. governor new york for the u.n. general assembly rationales to bonnell the supply of a vols to missile systems to iran russia's foreign minister said the decision of sunday un sanctions against iran. russia simply documented in the presidential decree what is required from russia and all the other states in relation to iran after the adoption of the un security council's new resolution russia refused to deliver the s. three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran in support of this resolution and russia remains opposed to any unilateral sanctions against tehran resolutions adopted by the un security council a binding but they need to be turned international laws because they are not direct application documents within countries legislation. and coming up later this last call for venezuela a country getting in

a highly contested national election which has been billed a battle for the rich versus the poor. it's a few minutes past midnight in jerusalem where a moratorium on settlements construction in the west of buying has just expired there's around a government imposed a ten months ago as a move towards peace talks with palestinians they've warned that renewed construction in the west bank would mean that i was told from the new round of negotiations currently underway and american mediation or settlers in the area plan to celebrate the lifting of the bond by laying foundations for new buildings the israeli government has ignored pleas from the international community to extend the moratorium in the light of the ongoing peace talks and. have it called the views of palestinian rights activists. and of jewish settlers represents. so i put the question to you do you think that an end to this moratorium will help

the peace process will be the end of it. i don't think that freezing jewish building in judea and samarian has anything to do with peace whatsoever we have missed identified what the cause of of not having peace here is because is the arab world at large and the palestinians in particular are not accepting the right for the truth to have a state here and so therefore the phrase has nothing to do with peace whatsoever and never did what do you think should be the next step in order to bring peace to the region first of all we need to keep on freezing freezing we have to get into serious negotiations in order to find a true true solution to the dispute in the middle which only after having seen a kind of two state for two nations solution in the land of israel and then we'll be able to say that we really have. the camp that mr. berger represents has almost disappeared from the israeli political scene at their representatives in

knesset are almost completely gone in the parliament because israelis have woken up and they realize that this messianic idea of the far left they're all we have to do is say what we think is right and everything will fall into place is just absurd and what we are doing most israelis is actually listening to what the arabs have to say and giving respect to what they say it believes to me and deserve a country of their will as much as the jewish people like me we believe that a freezing. mission you know we have to keep on freezing. in order to get israel into a real peace within a few years we have. israel. maybe losing. weight. exist. well looking for votes some politicians goes to go to trade unions and try to sweet talk the media but also as right wing

freedom party has pinned its hopes on an anti muslim computer game whatever the cause its share of the voting sound as regional elections doubled. gordon of takes a look at the game that's had a role in there in austria and may have helped cause the ruling social democrats in the charts and. watch the by by most game as simple as its message they came and shoot down as many new mosques as you count as they rise relentlessly above alpine skyline if you're not quick enough the country is islam ised some of them are so we're defending our rights our traditions our culture we don't want to be dissolved into islam nor do we want there to be power islamic societies in our country we released by the right wing freedom party as part of its bid for election and the regional government in styria austria second largest province the game has hit the wrong nerve within twenty four hours it received more

than two hundred thousand web hits within a week it was banned the computer game may have been just a small part of a political campaign but the reaction has been nothing but a firestorm of outrage there around five hundred thousand muslims in austria together with the greens their community leaders sued the freedom party emotions in . islam is a reality if we want to build mosques we will build the many with i have a vision of the future where every town or city in austria has a mosque with a minaret that people can see from the outside. the judicial authorities upheld the complaint and ruled it again went beyond the perceptible discussion forcing the freedom party to take it down from its website octon that all the numbers who played the game show that islam is a very important issue thanks to us it was talked about in the first place but the judicial system is meddling in politics and stopping a free discussion base of many say that ban has had the reverse effect there's not

even a single minute in styria and less than two percent of the population of muslim. the freedom party failed to get a single sleep at the last election now it's expected to put a dent in the ruling coalition of two centrist party to have a little bit here change india india whole system because i have to feeling huge story to get to what they like to just position themselves as like. the resistance of the true jim people which is kind of been suppressed by the status quo if the freedom party performs well it will follow the footsteps of recent successes by far right parties in sweden belgium and the netherlands. it appears that no longer can the centrist parties ignore the voices of those alone by immigration or their is being penalized at the ballot box. party gratz steria. from far right a far left now and venezuelans are voting in a critical parliamentary election which will test the popularity of president

chavez's united socialist party after boycotting their previous poll in two thousand and five the opposition is trying to win back seats to challenge the police the country's political course away from the left around two hundred fifty thousand police were deployed across the country ahead of voting with a seventy percent of actual turnout predicted and. half its reports the result could hinge on emerges victorious from the showdown between the country's rich and poor. it's an outstanding view from the top of one of the finest hotels in caracas venezuela. but on the ground there is a different reality a class war between the wealthy and the poor a battle that has been playing out here in venezuela since president chavez came to power in one thousand nine hundred eight it happened in almost every election and this one is no exception to. eat it is what has politically mobilized both sides of the class divides leading to scenes as distinct as day.

the first. and that is. what the people of venezuela are calling one of the most important election this year what they care is that building the national assembly whoever gave the majority of the national assembly will have the authority to pass the laws in the country and so the boards build into the shade tree both for and against the chavez system a system we have right now but it's not communism at all and it's working for poor people that's why people love chavez because we can study we can go to the neighborhood today we have free education we have preferred before chavez came to power the poor were marginalized in venezuela according to statistics from the venezuelan national statistics office poverty in this country has dropped by seventy percent in only fourteen years that's

a bit us women before chavez it was like a long night the poor were excluded from the country's wealth this represents our aspirations for freedom and emancipation because chavez sees people as human beings he fights for us but the opposition has different views also look at how it truly is not just destroyed venezuela has destroyed latin america has destroyed our values as citizens he has brought out the worst of us so if the worst means foreign money to help their cause it's not sitting well with most of the venezuelan people and government newspapers articles exposing hefty figures from u.s. government funded n.g.o.s are causing venezuelans to cry foul in this election and sustain the money is going directly to opposition forces united states make whatever they want not around the world and nobody said nothing so they are angry because we are saying something about that. however the opposition refuses to acknowledge there is a link between the dollars pouring into this country and their campaigns these are going to get rid of chavez through votes in the market that's why we're going to

vote on september twenty sixth against chavez a socialist communist project twenty first century so. hasn't helped us it was her favorite pro chavez elements also insist the opposition is composed of the wealthy elite with a prejudice towards majority poor. i hate discrimination and that it would be a position that white people don't trust and they discriminate like they were there the whites of the year the indians over there i am white powerful you know no no no from day to night both sides are behind two different messages. one calling for a balance in the parliament dominated by the governments parties and a more capitalist system. the other praising the political structure currently in place one with a socialist agenda because depending on which way the pendulum swings in this election the governing system of venezuela will ultimately follow. our t. caracas venezuela this is our c.n.n. still to come this hour to early two hundred. hours of violence in iraq coincides

with the pullout of u.s. combat forces in the country doubts are made over whether local forces being trained by fifty thousand american troops stand behind are up to the job of maintaining security. a bit in love young indians face threats of violence and even death or marrying outside of their calls. this week experts and top politicians gather in the russian capital to discuss the future of the region the conference was a seeing have future exploration of the vast energy resources of the arctic can develop in the spirit of cooperation rather than competition to protect the region's fragile ecosystem. if you stand alone you can survive in the arctic that's all russian premier have led him or putin explained but no country by itself can deal with the enormous challenges i had at the north pole he promised that what

average treasures lie hidden under the peak layer of ice will be no fighting over the top of the world the arctic needs secure sustainable management and if there's anybody who doesn't stop with that we often hear some futuristic forecasts predicting a battle for the arctic are responsible analysis shows the majority of the frightening scenarios on the future of the arctic have no grounds whatsoever their goal is to provoke clashes among the arctic states and so that those who make the predictions can fish for something in the murky waters but i am absolutely sure that all the existing problems including the ones over the continental shelf can be resolved in a manner of partnership and according to the law the five know the neighbors who fish in these dark cold waters are russia canada the us norway and denmark at stake now are massive amounts of untapped oil and gas estimated to be over twenty percent of what the planet has to offer but many fear that

a territorial crisis over the arctic which for millenia has been a vast quiet block of ice could suddenly start to boil and for the people who call this tranquil place home an invasion of industrialization is on the horizon for many years people thought the arctic was this frozen wasteland that no one lives here no one survives here is a place for polar bears enablers and the reality is that the arctic is a vibrant place with rich natural resources rich human resources where people live and survive daily and who love it choose to live here but some of the history's saddest chapters were written on the white pages of these glass years during the. cold war it was one of the world's most militarized regions with nuclear missiles placed there the warheads may have gotten but oil and gas drills are likely to replace them environmentalist question just how safe big struction technology will

be in this stuff to retain especially with the gulf of mexico disaster and its lingering legacy so fresh in people's minds it's not just a question of often your call drugs in the arctic it's all show that we approach those in a responsible way i don't think anybody can come up croce are simply from the point of view of lettuce exploit the resources i think everybody shares your responsibility about your store shelves your vitamins on the arctic nations but also to the entire world because if we measure the arctic and the northern part of the world the consequences will be felt in asia and africa latin america the rest of europe in the united states and elsewhere apart from anna chan territorial claims concerns were again raised that pumping for fuel in the world's refrigerator as it's sometimes known could speed up global warming

a quarter of the world's untapped manager resources altered states have become increasingly anxious to save their claims on to the look pretty piece of pie but russia says they'll be no fighting over the arctic fortunes and any territorial dispute what will result in just as informal and friendly atmosphere as a big dinner exhibit actual our t.v. moscow. and another news this week a near noted martial arts champion on the run also skating from a psychiatric hospital in russia has been detained in oslo while of course decides on his asylum application but just love that sick reappeared as an immigration officer in norway with a loaded gun where u.s. forces took a shit so arafat reports. he ran it decided he could no longer. i. guess they were lucky then to overstate the psychiatric a think petersburg of its third think has a vested norway where he sells for thirty years to grant her political asylum. wearing a t. shirt with a swastika and carrying

a loaded gun he turned himself in that is now under arrest. this is a breach of the weapon more we have found a weapon and confiscated other interesting items which gives these cases priority to the investigation is now under way he used to be best known for his aggressive fighting style within the ring now is his imprisonment escape and his ties with the band nationalists fashion party the slavic union that's grabbing the attention. he called me several hours before that video was made and said he was going to turn himself in i replied that it was up to him he thanked me for supporting him murder threats assault and robbery and an alleged psychotic breakdown so does that placed in high security psychiatric can but after transfer to a low security facility he made light work of escaping ripping up a wire fence of his hands he simply walked away the doctors ava's seeing him too

intimidated to intervene it's raising serious questions as to how exactly a dangerous psychiatric patient managed to escape and make it out of russia without being caught but the reason it's funny they tell us that he's totally insane and all he does a scream and yell in reply to any question however he managed to cross two borders and he brought his weapon along i know one member of the slav again who originally came from a speck of stone he asked for political asylum and was granted a residence visa i'm not sure what will happen with debt but anything is possible. the former fighters fate now hangs on whether he'll be extradited back to row. granted political asylum and sarah fair r.t. must. also was drawing combat forces from iraq that the u.s. still has left behind fifty thousand troops their role is to train local police to

cope with the militant threat but as aussies poulos near discovered their homes are more than full while the level of violence in the country still rises. dark and dangerous and body armor does little to protect against the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing at this one a patrol through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bomb his team his state behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order and planning for the actual missions we're going to do then we do a pretty brief then we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now but the u.s. invasion to have a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safire ismail's husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace and it's. called me and said he was coming to beat me i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to say the safire certain husbands

did and all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis who disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces these trainees are not always the white candidates for the job a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know all. around or some of them they are just to from the tribes and clans some of them just because they are part of the political parties militias and so on and the problem is compounded by the limited training they've given you can apply for the kinds of these. people being the checkpoints like this needs to be some of. my training effort to save the search vehicles cars. bombs missing weapons in stone i think. and it's a far cry from what is needed. they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough the americans only thought to create an iraqi army in two thousand

and four by then it was too late because the terrorists had already infiltrated that. but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent weeks the need for a competent domestic security force has never been greater but whether or not the u.s. and iraq can mice to the challenge is still here to be seen. r.t. baghdad. marriage without family permission can lead to danger for young people in india from persecution by relatives to even all the killings but a group called the love commandos is offering protection and refuge to couples those relationships are not approved. reports. your life's in danger your girlfriend's been kept captive welcome to the love commandos newly formed help taking calls from distraught couples who have dared to marry against their family's wishes because. whenever we get a call that

a couple is being threatened we contact our commandos and tell them to go there immediately to help them if they face any problem we inform the police our team of lawyers also reach there so that the couple is not attacked threatened or mistreated. the love commandos include lawyers and social activists and claims to have attracted one hundred forty thousand volunteers across india they have helped rescue many couples from debt by forcing police to intervene. sunday and not the other young couple in love who ran away from our grasp with their families against their marriage they had nowhere else. we need five complaints to the police but no one to count when i heard of the helpline i felt some who helped us right away and were staying in there see if. they're having a cent without them we may not have survived. the hell playing started

following the recent upsurge in honor killings in northern india in some villages local councils death sentences against couples formatting outside their caste or within the same clan i did your parents today have forgotten that they too were young at some point they were also attracted to people and tried to fall in love not all were successful of course i think if we take that frustration out on today's youngsters. anonymous means a priority for the volunteers who have been targeted by angry relatives and the village councils the help lane operates from five secret locations in the capital and visitors carefully screened. the work we do we have to do it quietly if anyone asks us our address we don't just give it to us we first ask him to reach a public spot in our center we check to see whether he's a troublemaker who only wants we're sure that he needs help then we take him with.

love can sometimes be a dangerous thing in india especially in rural communities but with the love commandos just a phone call away there's a blast a glimmer of hope for the many couples endangered by their feelings for each other out and saying r t. so the main story this hour up the back with every couple of the headlines in just a few. it's
